So the purpose of the temporal derivative as a second regressor is only to make the residuals white noise?

This will give you the response to your regressor.

[1 -1] would be the difference between the weight of the regressor and its first derivative, which is meaningless.

Dear SPMers,

I have a simple question regarding the contrast vector in the GLM. I have a single subject dataset where the subject periodically (20 s activity, 20 s rest) performed a task. As regressors I use the square wave paradigm convolved with the heamodynamic response function (difference of gammas) and it's temporal derivative. Should the contrast vector be [1 -1], [1 0] or something else?
